The people in the Roman court were panicked, and many ministers also strongly urged the empress Caracalla to respond to the people's call for a decisive battle with the Wei Empire as soon as possible. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Having finally coped with such a minister, Caracalla couldn't help but feel exhausted, and at this time, the prime minister, Thomas, came in.

"Your Majesty!" Thomas greeted him.

"How's it going out there?" Caracalla asked, a little tired.

Thomas frowned: "The mood of the people is like that of a drunken person!" ”

Caracalla said with some anger: "Dealing with the might of the Wei Empire has exhausted us!" They even came to join in the fun! Damn it!! ”

"Your Majesty, in fact, they can't be blamed for this! The reaction of the people at this time is actually a kind of fear! ”

Caracalla calmed down a bit, nodded, and asked, "Did Seth act?" ”

"We have acted according to Your Majesty's will!"

"Excellent! Tell Seth to be sure to grasp the scale! ”

"Yes!"

Caracalla rubbed his temples, "I'm tired!" If nothing else, step aside! ”

"Your Majesty, there is one thing we must pay attention to!"

"What's the matter?"

"There have been some changes in the Jin country recently! They seem to want to make peace with the Wei people! Thomas said with some concern.

"Oh?"

Caracalla raised his head and thought, "It seems that the people of the Jin Kingdom don't want to continue the war either!" ”

At this time, the guard officer rushed into the main hall.

"Your Majesty, the envoy of the Jin Kingdom asks to see you!"

Thomas and Caracalla exchanged a look of surprise, and Thomas guessed, "Maybe it's for the sake of making peace with the Wei people!" ”

Caracalla nodded and said to the guard, "Bring him in!" ”

"Yes!" The guard officer answered the promise and exited the hall.

A few days later, the envoy of the Jin State was sent to the Green Ridge Fortress, and it turned out to be Schroeder, the prime minister of the Jin State! It seems that the people of Jin attach great importance to this mission.

"The envoy of the Jin Kingdom greets His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Wei Empire!" Schroeder saluted.

Schroeder's courtesy, though respectful, was just a courtesy.

Dian Wei, who was standing beside Cao Cao, shouted: "The envoys of Fanbang dare not kneel when they see His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

Cao Cao waved his hand and smiled: "Forget it! ”

He glanced at Schroeder and asked with a smile, "You shouldn't be an ordinary envoy!" What are your positions in the country? ”

Schroeder replied without humility or arrogance: "I am Schroeder, the prime minister of the Jin Kingdom!" ”

"Oh!" Cao Cao showed a sudden expression.

"Explain what you mean!"

"Your Majesty, on behalf of the Empire, I sincerely ask you to stop the war for the sake of the peace and contentment of the people of the two countries!"

Cao Cao smiled and said indifferently: "The current situation is very clear! My Great Wei Empire has an absolute advantage on the battlefield! It's entirely possible to get what we want through war! Why am I talking to you? ”

His eyes were cold, "What's more, who betrayed the covenant in the first place!" ”

Schroeder couldn't help but be a little speechless, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Your Majesty, we are also thinking about the interests of the country!" I hope Your Majesty can understand! ”

"Well said! Interests! Since you are asking for peace talks, what can my Great Wei Empire get? ”

Schroeder hurriedly said: "If Your Majesty agrees to peace talks, these two countries will be civilized!" “

Cao Cao waved his hand, "Don't follow my mouth full of benevolence and morality!" The principle between nations is the national interest! If you can't come up with something that satisfies us, then there is no need to continue the peace talks! The tone was resolute, and there seemed to be no room for negotiation.

Schroeder couldn't help but be surprised, "If the war continues, it will not be good for the Wei Empire!" ”

Cao Cao laughed.

Seeing this, Schroeder couldn't help but feel like fish on a knife.

Cao Cao glanced at Schroeder and said contemptuously: "With the current strength of your Jin Kingdom, how can you compete with my Great Wei Empire?" Of course, I don't have the strength to destroy the Jin Kingdom yet, but it is not impossible to sweep the entire eastern province of the Jin Kingdom and split the eastern tribes! ”

"Aren't you worried about the Romans?" Schroeder said without confidence.

Cao Cao laughed and asked rhetorically, "Do you think that the Romans will definitely be in the same boat with you Jin people?" It's a possibility! You can gamble! ”

Cao Cao looked at Schroeder, and his eyes were like a tiger looking at his prey.

Schroeder couldn't help but swallow and asked, "Then what does His Majesty want?" ”

Cao Cao smiled slightly, leaned back against him, and said indifferently: "We don't want much!" Just the whole Loga Mountains! ”

Schroeder was startled, and subconsciously shook his head and said, "No!" Absolutely not! ”

Cao Cao said indifferently: "Since it doesn't work, then there's no need to talk about it!" We ourselves go and take what we want! ”

"Your Majesty, we can use other things, such as money!" Schroeder said urgently.

Cao Cao glanced at Schroeder, "We have already put forward the conditions!" All you have to do is answer yes or no! ”

Seeing Cao Cao's resolute attitude, Schroeder couldn't help but soften, and said in frustration: "Your Majesty, this matter is very important, I need to ask for instructions from home!" ”

"Yes! I've been waiting for you for five days! Expire without waiting! Drop-off! ”

Schroeder, who still wanted to say something, had to exit the hall.

Two days later, Schroeder's pigeon biography was delivered to Queen Slan, who angrily overturned the table in front of her, and her beautiful face was as terrifying as a dominatrix.

In fact, she didn't have to be so angry, because the provinces of Nanpoli, including the Luojia Mountain Range, were originally returned to them by the Wei Empire not long ago!

But her reaction is also very normal! The return of the province of Namboli by the Wei people was like a charity, but now it is a naked blackmail to ask for the Luojia Mountains.

"I don't want peace talks! Since he wants war, then war! Queen Silan roared angrily.

The ministers in the main hall were silent and did not dare to speak.

"The Queen's Wrath!" The Minister of Intelligence, Joseph, came out of the ranks.

"What a wrath! Can I still be angry? Queen Silan shouted angrily.

Queen Silan calmed down a little and sat down, silent, with a gloomy face.

The ministers hung their heads, their hearts uneasy.

For a long time, Queen Silan suddenly rose, and her face sank like water.

The ministers were shocked and secretly shouted that it was not good.

"I decide, agree to the Wei people's request!"

As soon as they heard this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and then secretly wiped a cold sweat.

Two days later, the order of the Empress Slan came to Schroeder, who was anxiously waiting.

Schroeder couldn't wait to open the handbook, read the order, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Hurriedly took the order of Empress Silan to meet Cao Cao, the emperor of the Great Wei Empire.

Cao Cao looked at the agreement in his hand, smiled indifferently, and said to Schroeder very friendly: "Now that the business is done, the prime minister can stay here for some time, see the customs here, and relax!" ”

Schroeder smiled bitterly: "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness!" I'd better hurry back as soon as possible! ”

After Schroeder stepped down, Cao Cao summoned the herald and ordered him to send the contents of the agreement and his own orders to Zhang Liao.

A day later, Zhang Liao received the relevant order, and he couldn't help but lift his spirits, and immediately sent a general to contact the Jin people on the defense line of Luojia Mountain opposite.

Half a day later, Zhang Liao received a reply that the other party would hand over the defense to the Wei army on the morning of the second day.

Zhang Liao immediately made some arrangements to deal with possible emergencies.

The next morning, Zeng Guang, a general under Zhang Liao's command, led 50,000 elites of the Second Army to take over the defense of the Jin people at Gukou.

Jin Guoren's expression was very complicated, and there was a hint of happiness in the sadness and helplessness.

The Jin people, who had already been scared by the Wei army, did not want to have a big war with the Wei people anymore.

It seems that if the Jin court cannot solve this 'Weiphobia' that has been formed, it is only afraid that it will be restrained when facing the Wei army in the future.

The Wei army smoothly received the entire Luojia Mountains.

Subsequently, Zhang Liao arranged a defensive front along the entire Luojia Mountain according to the predetermined plan, and a day later, the complete defensive front was arranged along the Luojia Mountain.

Subsequently, the Wei army also kept its promise and withdrew the hundreds of thousands of troops of Zhang Jaw to the starting point of the attack, Kukan City.

Kukan City is located more than 300 miles southeast of the Tunguska Fortress, Kukan City and its surrounding area were originally the easternmost province of the Jin people, and Kukan City was once a strategic base for the Jin people to control the thirteen tribes in the Far East.

However, the current Kukan City is already the northernmost base of the Wei army, and the original frontier Dingbei City has now become the rear. The entire northern defense system is centered on Dingbei City, Wolf Mountain Fortress and Kukan City, with Wolf Mountain Fortress being the top priority, Dingbei City as the rear base, and Kukan City as the outpost.

In the defense system of the entire north, there are also the North and South Siberia that originally belonged to the thirteen tribes of the Far East of the Jin Kingdom, and now the North and South Siberia are very different from before, first of all, an obvious change is that the flow of people is more than a hundred times larger than before, most of them are merchants from the Central Plains and local merchants from North and South Siberia, another significant change is that the royal city of these two countries has really been a city, although the scale is not large.

With the retreat of Zhangjaw's army, the border between the Great Wei Empire and the Jin State calmed down.

The people of Jin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Soon after the Great Wei Empire formally signed an agreement with the Jin State, the Romans learned about the situation through the envoys of the Jin State.

In desperation, the Roman Emperor Caracalla also asked for peace talks.

Compared to the negotiations between the Wei and the Jin, the negotiations with the Romans were very difficult! The Romans demanded that the Wei return the province of Osroina, which was currently occupied by the Wei army, and it was clear that the Wei could not give up.

"Wei people are really too deceitful!" Caracalla looked at the handbook in his hand and said angrily.

Thomas frowned and said, "But looking at the current situation, we can't disagree with the Wei people's request!" Unless we're willing to fight! ”

Caracalla calmed down, sat back on the throne, thought for a while, nodded slowly, and said coldly: "Promise them!" (To be continued.) )
